    Without US support the bombing would stop, but more importantly, all of Israel’s neighborhoods would be empowered to step in.

    The US attacks the Houthis to protect Israel’s economy. What happens if the US declares they will no longer protect Israel?

      israel starts firebombing and nuking people… continues to buy weapons from other countries, and takes over more territory in order to defend what they have.

        No country can provide as much military aid as the US, we’re number one in the world. This is just divorced from material reality.

        They’re not invincible demons fueled by blood. It’s just a relatively small country. They would never survive launching nukes.

          what i mean is:
          a: they have a considerable arms industry and make quite a lot.
          b: they’re quite wealthy and can and do buy weapons.
          therefore, it’s not so cut and dry that biden could just stop it….
          he sure shouldn’t help arm them, but it’s been going on for quite a while with and without our bombs…
